We
lived on atmosphere fearless alone,
The
cat made us purr, the dog fetched a bone.
Looks
were misleading, books so one-sided,
Such
special pleading proved, well, misguided.
You
too were one of the usual suspects,
They
were statistics in outlying districts.
Gadgets
were made too sensitive by half,
Cars
built to last, look don’t make me laugh.
An
atheist was a most fervent believer,
His
music leaving us all a-quiver.
Ideals
were photoshopped, wrinkles were real,
It
took all you had to know how to feel.
To
deal with what’s Now would ofttimes suffice,
The
settings went stone cold inside your device.
